O Aviation Implications

Aviation Operational Environment Highlights:

■ A wider spectrum of operations, increased threat

technological capability and unpredictability leading to

a more complex and challenging range of operating

environments . .

■ In association with an Adaptive and Adoptive Threat

* A Challenge for Independent Maneuver

* Combined Arms operations essential

* Extremely lethal, offensively oriented air defense
environment

* Degradation of U.S. technological superiority

* Changed target sets

* Challenges US preferred method of Warfare....

* Standoff, Precision Attack

Objective Force Facts and Assumptions

Facts:

• Aviation Will Transition As An Integral Part of Army Transformation

• S & T Programs Will Continue to Leverage Technology to Develop the
UAV and the Future Transport Rotorcraft

• Current Organizational and Manning Deficiencies in the Total Force
Must Be Fixed

• Recapitalization Program is Essential for Reliability Improvements

• Leader/Soldier Development Programs are Key to Future

Assumptions:

• Future Threat Environments Will Mature As Forecast

• Doctrinal Development Will Meet Transition Timelines

• Training and Logistics Systems Will Be Re-engineered to Support
Transition

• Increased Resources Will Be Available to Move to the Objective Force

• Reorganization and Manning the Force Must Be Achieved within BFA

• AH-64D Longbow Apache Selective Upgrade Will End in FY 06

Environment

* Army Aviation is not a stand-alone force, but a member of
the Combined Arms Team.

* Situational awareness is essential to combat effectiveness
and survivability.

* We will use all means available (national, strategic, tactical)
to plan missions.

* SEAD (Need precision SEAD vs traditional SEAD) is always a
mission planning consideration, using organic or joint assets
against priority threats.

* Enhanced aircraft survivability technology will increase
combat effectiveness and staying power.

* Improved survivability is designed against the current and
future threats. He will also be improving. Not a static
process

* Know Your Enemy - Training and Leader Development
remain essential to mission success.
